PREPARING THE SPACE
Make sure the installation opening is properly prepared. Refer
to Figure 1 for space dimensions.
CAUTION
If unit is to be installed under a countertop, it is recommended that the countertop be supported by a structure other
than the unit itself, to prevent damage to the countertop.
IMPORTANT: For a cabinet door to operate properly, the door
must open a minimum of 98° (see Figure 1). Use a minimum
4-1/2” filler in corner installations to ensure a 100° opening.
Allow 25” clearance in front of the unit for full door swing and
shelf pull-out.
IMPORTANT: Make sure floor under unit is level with the surrounding finished floor. Protect a finished floor with plywood,
cardboard or some other suitable material before moving the
unit into place. Failure to do this may result in damage to the
floor.
PREPARING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A 115 volt, 60Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker and electrical supply are required. A separate circuit is recommended for each
Perlick unit installed.
CAUTION
Do not cut cardboard sleeve covering the unit. Cutting may
result in damage to the exterior of the unit.
1. Uncrate the unit outside on a flat level surface. Remove
the cardboard sleeve by removing the banding holding
the sleeve to the shipping base. Carefully lift the cardboard sleeve up over the top of the cabinet.
2. Carefully lift unit off base and onto a hand truck or dolly
(this should be done with a minimum of two people,
larger cabinets may require additional helpers). Make sure
unit is balanced on transporting device. Secure unit to
transporting device using soft, flexible strapping. Protect
cabinet surfaces with cloth material where strapping contacts the unit.
3. Before moving unit, secure door to unit with tape to hold
the door closed.
WARNING
A minimum of two people should lift the cabinet off the base
to prevent possible personal injury.
4. Carefully move unit to installation site and place in front
of opening.
Follow the National Electrical Code along with local codes
and ordinances when installing the receptacle.
All Perlick units come equipped with a NEMA 5-15P, 90° plug
with a 5’ cord (minimum) extending beyond the rear of the
unit. The electrical outlet must be flush with, or recessed into,
the back wall.
DANGER
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Electrical grounding required. This appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) polarized plug for protection
against possible shock hazards.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug.
• Never use a 2-prong grounding adapter.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to the
unit.
If a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, or a longer power
cord is required, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper 3-prong receptacle in accordance with applicable
electrical codes.
DANGER
Failure to comply with the above electrical guidelines may
result in possible injury/death/fire or loss of property.
ANTITIP BRACKETS
WARNING
Unit may tip forward if loaded racks/shelves are all pulled
out at the same time. To prevent tipping and provide a stable
installation, the unit must be secured in place with the antitip brackets provided with the unit.
A set of metal anti-tip brackets and #10 x 3/4” screws are

supplied with the unit. The anti-tip brackets, when properly
installed, should secure the rear legs and prevent the unit
from tipping forward.
Some installation sites may require modification to provide a
secure surface for attaching the brackets. Refer to Figure 2 for
mounting bracket locations.
IMPORTANT: If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required and are not included in the Anti-Tip kit.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Finished flooring should be protected with appropriate material to avoid damage from moving the unit.
If unit has been laid on its back or sides, place unit upright
and allow minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.

the installation opening. With power applied to the unit,
check that lighting and cooling function operate properly, then turn off power to the wall outlet at the circuit

level as the surrounding finished floor.
3. If all surfaces are level, refer to Figure 3 and perform the
following:
a. Measure from the floor to the bottom of the front
edge of the countertop.

Figure 3. Leveling
flush with the surrounding cabinetry, or until the rear legs
are tight against the anti-tip brackets.
IMPORTANT: The rear leveling legs must be engaged under
the anti-tip brackets.
5. Shim the front of the unit so the front face is flush with the
surrounding cabinetry. Adjust the front legs to support
the countertop at the shimmed height. Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn legs counterclockwise to raise
the unit or clockwise to lower the unit. Countertop should
be resting on top of the unit.
IMPORTANT: If countertop is not resting entirely unit top,
shim the countertop to prevent damage to the countertop.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the countertop and unit underneath,
do not place heavy objects on countertop directly above the
unit.
6. Check interior door openings inside unit and ensure unit
is level.
